..."The Ohio Supreme Court is dominated by Republicans who have said on the record that they oppose abortion. Chief Justice Sharon Kennedy and Justices Pat DeWine and Pat Fischer responded to questionnaires from a Cincinnati right-to-life group before last fall’s election that they believe life begins at conception.
This isn't the first time Hartman has filed a lawsuit with the state's highest court on behalf of abortion opponents. In March, Hartman filed suit against the Ohio Ballot Board over the petition language it approved. The Ohio Supreme Court rejected that argument.
The amendment would need a simple majority of voters to approve it in November for it to take effect. But if Issue 1 passes on the Aug. 8 ballot, it would take 60% voter approval for it to pass."

This issue comes back to haunt us. Is all life sacred? If the answer is yes, then the lives at the border are sacred. Foster children need someone to love them, and then there’s the children on the street. PO1 William "Chip" Nagel I don’t foresee total agreement on this issue ever,
